| Prof. Loomis of Washington some
| years ago was reported TO hsVe succeeded
in transmitting ,elegrsphie Signals be-
tween two kites at high elevations, the
current being supposed to traverse IN sir
stratum. 1t has been suggested that fol-
lowing this idea signals might possibly be
obtained by large sheets OF metal placed
aloft on the masts. But this is merely
speculative.
At the present date, there fore the prob
lem has been barely more than attacked.
That 1t will be ultimately solved, and
by electrical means, the writer fully be-
lieves.

Gallon in his work on Hereditary

of water into which some of the sound
waves pass. In this tube Is to be ar.
ranged e telephone transmitter (the
continuance ordinarily talked intol,
which will take up the SOUND
which has passed through the water and
electrically transmit the signals through
wire to the captains cabin or other
quiet room in the ship, where an ordinary
telephone receiver is provided, ct which
instrument, during night and thick
weather, some one is constantly to listen.
Professor Blake states that signals have
thus been sent between boats mile dis
tant through rough sea and in dense
fog, and that the sound OF q bell has been
heard over a distance of one and a half
miles, around three or four turns OF q
river, when entirely inaudible through
the air.
Mr.. Edison's plan, IS far IS it has been
made public in the newspapers, appears
to Involve very much the same idea as
that of Professor Blake.
PURELY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
The second system is that proposed by
Professor Alexander Graham Bell, and,
as already stated, is purely electrical.
He suggests an insulated wire to be con-
nected with dynamo On board ship, and
trailed for considerable distance sstern.
The electrical circuit from the dynamo
TO the exposed end Of the wire or metal
plate thereto attached is completed back
TO the vessel by the water. The ether
pole OF the dynamo may be connected to
the iron ship herself. Tie reported theory
OF this arrangement is that when the cur
rent ii tie above circuit is Interrupted by
the making of signals currents will be in
duced in s similar circuit established on
another vessel, and that the variations
produced in the second circuit will street

SO fhst signals will there be repro

experiment have been made by Lieu
tenant Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N, with
the object of testing this plan, but the
results are rather negative than affirms-
tive in value. Lieutenant Fiske's expert
ments certainly have the merit Of bold
ness and originality, for he attempted to
convert the steel "Atlsnta" into q huge

and SO to Increase The chances OF collision
with another vessel, Or to 60 slowly, tnd
so to increase the chances CT smother
vessel coIlidipg with US, may be simply,
perhaps, to choose one or the other horn
of @ dilemma. Il is Of more importance
to do away with the dilemus itself, and
this can be done only by inventing some
way of transmitting intelligence from
ore ship to the other independently OF the
prevailing meteoric conditions. And it is
BY reason OF these conditions that sound
signals fail or mislead.
The sensation OF sound is due to vi
brating movement OF the air PARTICLES of
the atmosphere. Waves OF alternate con-
dersation and rarefection emanate from
the sounding body, in close analogy to
waves In water, apparently moving from
the center OF disturbance. Sound waves
striking dense mass OF fog may be re-
1acted from it as from solid wall, or
from various causes may be multiplied or
broken up and distorted so as to produce
the curious effect known as "ocesn
echo" Thus there is no certainty in 10
eating the position of q sound signal.
Where, then, are we to turn for safety
INVENTORS AT WORK.
It is matter of qualification, however,
to know that the matter is closely en-
gaging the attention OF investigators, and
the first steps have been made toward
directing electricity to this new task. The
writer continues:
Two methods of establishing commu-
nication between vessels have been pro-
posed, one partly electrical and partly
acoustic, snd the other wholly electrical
in character. The FIRST system has been
experimental upon by Professor Lucien
J. Blake and to some extent,
by Mr.. Edison. It's general plan
is as follows: ANY sort OF
sound producing apparatus, such as q
whistle OF fog-hern, is arranged to pro-
duce its blasts under the surface Of the
water, wherein the sound waves will

ClOture.

The word is French, and means the putting
an end to debate and proceeding to a vote
upon question before deliberative BODY.
The common use Of the word in English poll
tics arose in this way: In the autumn of 1889
Mr.. Gladstone brought forward a proposition
to amend the rules of procedure, so that
"when it shall appear to Mr. Speaker or to
the chairman of ways and means in com.
mittee of the whole house, during any debate,
that the subject has been adequately dis
cussed, and that it is the evident sense Of the
house, or Of the committee, that the question
be now put he may so inform the house or
committee" On such information motion
may be made that the question be now put,
aud if this in the whole house is supported
by more than 220 members, or in case of only
forty in opposition, it is supported by over
100 members, that ends the debate and the
question is carried. The rule was approved,
and several other somewhat stringent rules
were adopted at the same time, Mr.. Glad
stone urging them upon the plea of necessity,
to avoid the delay of public business by a
factious minority. 1t is the first of these
rules that became known by the name of

What 10 q Sonnet?

A sonnet is poem Of fourteen lines. It
has been claimed that the limit to this num-
Der was originally because the sonnet was q
song and sung to the accompaniment of the
Tyre, which had fourteen strings 1t is more
probable that this Limitation was accidental,
or an arbitrary rule which has been super
seeded by custom. The Legitimate" sonnet is
poem Of fourteen ten syllabled lines (f with
double rhymes, eleven syllabled), iambic PEN
tameter lines, of which the first, fourth, fifth
and eighth rhyme together; the second, third,
sixth and seventh rhyme together; the ninth,
eleventh and thirteenth rhyme together, and
the tenth, twelfth and fourteenth rhyme to-
gether, so that there are two rhymes in the
first eight lines-the octave; and two rhymes
IN the last six lnes-the sestet Some critics
consider if there are three rhymes in the ses-
set the sonnet is still legitimate. The "legiti-
